Dreams, Fit to Mold?
Meaningful experiences and deeply held desires are bent to fit the institutions of the larger society. Many people who have a genuine interest in helping others (and who among us wouldn't) try to fit their education, creative projects, and professional identity into this institutional mold -- whether space exists or the likelihood of success outside society's institutions.
Chauvinists
People who know the world through their own dissonant experiences reject the search or reception of new indirect information. Having a certain amount of social education (college-equivalent, say) and life experience (a lot), they disdain certain kinds of social learning.
While not all folks who have a chauvinistic worldview uphold the ultimate status of guns, religion, and family in their identities these three elements are crucial to the chauvinistic perspective. Guns are how the powerful ultimately impose their will; religion is necessary to morally justify the constant threat, or act, of violence, and family provides a spiritual rational -- the family will carry the individual into the future, after death.
I would like to to see an explicit manifesto for conservative that establishes these connections -- exposing the inherent fascism.
